Brooke

Hello everyone out there in Blogland. I know I said I would be a lot better about posting on this site, but I've been a busy little bee. Work and school has got me running. Well it is spring break and it just so happens that I have the week off work too YAYAYAYAYAY!!! Playing a little catch-up this week and I get to photograph 3 new sessions too, so keep an eye out for those. :)

I'm working on a really cool project for my Portfolio Development class. This semester my portfolio is bright, vibrant color, senior portraits. This has been such a fun project and I am loving the colors so much that I'm trying to incorporated the style into all my work. Brooke is a friend of my sister's who graciously agreed to run around midtown and take some crazy cool pictures with me. I am so loving her pictures and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do. :)

Wood Family

Hello all you people out there in Blog-land. I have been a busy little worker these last few weeks. I have a new website and it is all up and running. Go to www.bluegatephoto.com and check it out.

I've also been shooting some really great images and I have a few to show you today. I had the honor of photographing the Wood family on Super Bowl Sunday this year. I'm so happy they took some time out of their game day to hike around Old Folsom with me. Their girls are so cute and so fun to photograph. I hope you enjoy their family pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them

Family

Happy February everyone!!!! This is a very exciting time for Blue Gate Photography. I have officially been in business for a whole year and I am going to be launching a new website and an overhaul of my blog in the next few weeks. Woo Hoo!!! I've also got some great ideas brewing for photos and will have a whole new system for ordering prints. This little photographer is about about to be all grown up. :) Right now I'm playing a little catch up here. I haven't posted anything on this blog since November and I have lots of cool work to show you. Since I have so much to post I'm going to do this in phases. Today is family portrait day!!

Here are some of my favorite family portraits from November and December of 2010.

Bailey/ Foerstel Family

This was such a fun photo shoot. I've know Anne for quite a few years, we used to work together back in my escrow days. So, when she contacted me to take her family portraits I was super excited. This family is so awesome you can totally tell that they all really care about each other and have a lot of fun together.


McLean Family


I think this is one of the first Family sessions I did last fall and boy was it fun. We found a really awesome park with great colorful leaves to take their photos and they all wore colors that went so well with the surroundings. They are such a cute family and I'm so glad I got an opportunity to photograph them.
Stemen Family

I just love the colors in these photos. Everyone in this family was so photogenic and really made my job easy.
Fitzpatrick Family

Alright this is my last family for right now. Back in October I got to photograph the two little girls in this family for Halloween. They are both just so cute you can't help but get good photos of them. This time I got to photograph the whole family, and wouldn't you know; mom and dad are just as photogenic as their girls. Come on guys your making my job too easy. :)Well that is it for today. I have lots more to show you so I should be putting up a new blog post in the next few days. Also keep an eye out for my new website, and if you are interested in getting your family portraits done contact me today. :)
